Some are silly, others are more serious and meant to reflect the answers I always shared as a missionary.
Compare to:
http://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/mormonism-101#C13-What are the core beliefs of the church?
Joseph Smith was a prophet, the Book of Mormon is the word of God, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is God's true church, restored in our day after centuries of apostacy. God continues to speak to his children through prophets and apostles, just as in Christ's time. Through the restored priesthood power and temples we can live with our families forever.
-Are Mormons Christian?
Of course, you fool! We blew up the name Jesus Christ on our logo to make this clear. Can't you read? We even lectured our members and the press to stop calling it the Mormon church and to refer to the church by its full name, until it was decided that "Mormon" had a good ring to it that people recognized and intellectual reserve began trademarking the name around the world, with some success. Christians are any people who believe that Christ will save them from their sins. It does not matter that we downplay Jesus by emphasizing works, implementing proxy baptism, and special ceremonies to exalt our members. You still must earn your way to heaven despite what Jesus did.
-What do the Mormons believe about God?
God was once a man and has a physical body of flesh and bones. His true name is Elohim and he lives near a star named Kolob.
-Do Mormons believe in the trinity?
No. God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost are three separate and distinct personages. The Holy Ghost is a personage of Spirit, while God and Jesus have physical bodies.
What is the Mormon View of the purpose of life?
The purpose if this life is to obtain a mortal body, use our agency to be tested and prepare to live with God again someday.
